. The basic trendsin the students inquiry development is captured via use of particular keywords and actions. Aphenomenographic analysis is performed to classify the common themes that appear in thestudent writing over the time points in the semester. These are then further classified into thedifferent sub-stages (Identification, reflection and personalization) of the Deweyan cycle.In the initial weeks most students start with asking why or how a particular code segment works,how something occurs in their circuit when they change things etc. As the time progresses,there is a shift in their inquiries in trying to achieve or make something possible with theresources available. Their procedures following the inquiry become more detailed. They

In constructingthis type of rubric, it is recommended to work from the “outside in”; that is, first write thedescriptions for how each criterion is met at the highest standard level, then write thedescriptions for how each criterion is met at the lowest standard level, then work on descriptionsin between. By this method, rubric construction increases in difficulty particularly with thenumber of standard levels. It is

This final projectmade with the assistance of graphic design students from the College of Fine Arts, required thateach group turn in a completed game that was placed in a box with all of the required pieces.Each group had to write and submit a well-written rule book that could be used to teach someonehow to play the game. The final paper portion of the assignment was meant for students tocommunicate how they thought their board game accomplished the goal of educating their targetaudience about climate change.

As noted, this course was designed tobridge the gap between the freshman engineering design courses and the junior year laboratorycourses.Educational goals for the second-year sequence included reinforcing and building uponprofessional skills introduced during the freshman year. This included teamwork, team writing[7], and presentation techniques. Relevant technical skills were also introduced in the course.As this was for a mechanical engineering program, computer-aided drafting (CAD), bestpractices for intuitive mechanical design [8], and prototype construction skills were

This course was broken intotwo sections, one focused on mixtures and reactions and the other on bioengineeringapplications. Students worked on teams in both sections to conduct three laboratory experiments.The corresponding major assessments for each experiment were a lab report (individual), videoarticle (team), and poster (team). All team-based assignments had to be completed at asatisfactory level in order to pass the course. Additionally, all students were required to gothrough safety training.

Such benefits can help students realize their potentials at an earlierstage and encourage them to later pursue a graduate degree and a research career. Furthermore,undergraduate research can increase students’ interests in major study which can be a key factorto improve undergraduate retention. Undergraduate research work can also be a significantcontribution to faculty’s own primary research [6-8]. In today’s world, many engineering research projects are interdisciplinary ones.

Lab activities such asthe development of a computer interface for an oscilloscope, a set of motors, and a photodiodeculminate in the realization of an automated laser scanning microscope system. In the latter,students receive instruction and feedback on their lab notebook entries, in addition to engaging inroutine peer review of each others’ notebooks; and, in turn, use those notebooks as a resource forpreparing a Progress Report and an Instrument Design Report.

Hands-on,project-based learning has been shown to get more students engaged with STEAM and help themlearn key skills for the future [2]. However, most STEAM education programs target students inupper-middle or high school [3].

It has been shown that self-assessmentand instructor-assessment of in-class participation are often not in agreement [1], [5], [19].
